So ... to update MagicMirror I would ... ??

Harry

Yep. I see I’m not the only one with a blank screen…
I did the git pull && npm install. It went through with only two warnings. Then after pm2 restart mm.sh I got the blank screen. I see that there is an npm-debug.log that contains some errors:

14 verbose stack Error: magicmirror@2.3.0 start: sh run-start.sh

Any help would be appreciated.

I returned from a copied img from my sd card to an older version and only did

git pull

didn’t do the

npm install

at least now it works again

chef

strange I’m not seeing a black screen.

Perhaps an issue with the auto start script? But I’m unsure.

Electron was updated in this release as well.

In most cases it’s because the port is still in use. First thing to try if it fails to start after an update: reboot the pi.

Power off & on restores VNC, and LAN access displaying MM. (Hurrah!).

Pi. Electron window is black, but shows cursor.

One more for blank screen, no joy after update per the instructions. Restarted MM using pm2, then rebooted the Pi. Ran the git reset --hard command, still nothing.

for me it worked without problems as follows

pm2 stop mm

then

git pull && npm install

and then

pm2 restart mm

maybe it works for one or the other

Cyberwrights

@NoNameRo Intuition tells me I should have stopped the service before applying the update, but unfortunately the instructions do not…

NoNameRo

I do not know if it is absolutely necessary to stop the service, for me it was obvious to do it

chef

Perhaps try stopping all instances of electron and node.

Stop pm2

Then try the install again.

Reboot the Pi.
